Upright Fruit Color (Harvest): Purple with green stripes
Overview
Purple Zebra F1 is a striped tomato from Frogsleap Farm that won a national AAS award in 2022. Round fruit of three to four ounces ripens to a purple base with green stripes on the outside and a juicy red interior that looks striking when sliced. Judges described the flavor as rich, deep, and almost dessert-like, with moderately firm texture. Plants are upright and productive, setting 150 to 200 fruits over the season, and they carry a long list of resistances: tomato mosaic virus, Verticillium, Fusarium race 1, leaf mold, late blight, TYLCV, and TSWV. Grow it in the ground or in a five gallon pot with support, and expect first ripe fruit around 80 days after setting out transplants.
